Dark Bags Under Eyes…..removal.

[Darby Edelen]

If you’re ok in Mocha then you should be pretty much set. Tracking bags under the eyes would be the tough part.

For improving the baggage I recommend using a solid that is roughly the color of your subject’s skin with a feathered mask, set to the Normal blend mode with a lowish opacity (try something around 20% to start with). This will move the bags closer to the average skin color without entirely replacing the detail that is naturally present in the area.

Thank Mr. Darby,
yes a solid feathered mask could be a good start. I have also some wrinkles to (in the eyes dark circles) i will like to get rid of..The jung guy is only 89 and i will like him to be happy……

I need a way to subtract the black wrinkles from the bags…. maby some alfa trik….

Grazie Darby. Nice

I’d recommend u to run a track over the eyebrows features as 2layers in mocha.

Make 2 nulls in AE, offset them to be placed in the area you need to “heal”

Then check how well they respond as the tracking data comes not from this area.

Later make 2 adjustment layers, parent them to nulls Left and Right.

Offset-fix any drifted track directly by positioning those adjustments kith key frames.

Draw a mask for each one, add median filter, and use “lighten”
as blending mode.

You can duplicate those median layers, setting them as 50% opacity and set them ass normal.

Precomp those layers and nulls. Then use match grain.

Great Steve,
the match grain trik is a good suggestin.
My worries are the dark wrinkles.I will try some inverted luma with above some alfa….Well i don’t now right now.
Grazie Mr.Agriosi.
Thanks.
Nic.

hey,
u don’t need to worry about wrinkles.
Median with a value about 7 will do very good job. then by letting this adjustment layer as lighten
will keep some natural texture of your master clip, but will keep out all the dark wrinkles.
Just tune the second adjustment as normal having some opacity.
You can also add a levels filter on each adjustment.
Do the match grain on a precomp only.
otherwise the motion of the tracking will make grain less visible (4 more if motion blur is enabled )
while the face moves.
